Chapter 10

Parents and Pictures

BPOV

As we drove to Edwards house I started getting nervous again.

What if they don't like me? Edward won't want me anymore if they don't. His parents mean so much to him, why would he if they didn't?

"Bella, what's on your mind?" Edward asked looking at me while we were at a stop sign.

"Nothing." I told him.

"Don't lie sweetheart." He said grabbing my hand "I can already tell when you are so just tell me." He smiled.

Well at least he notices things; I just wish it wasn't this.

"I'm just scared they won't like me, and think that I'm not good enough for you, and then you won't want me anymore." I sighed staring at my hands in my lap.

"Bella" he said tilting my head up to look at him "I would never not want you. Ever. You mean so much to me already. They just want me to be happy, and you make me happy."

Oh. My. Goodness, he is perfect. Way to good for plain ol' me.

"Thank you Edward. You mean a lot to me to. It'll be like torture not seeing you everyday now."

"I know love." He said kissing the back of my hand. "At least schools almost over though." He sighed.

"That's for sure."

"Where did you apply at love?" He asked me.

"University of Washington in Seattle, and Dartmouth. What about you Edward?"

"I also applied at both of those, and also Brown and Arizona State." He told me.

"What's your first choice?" I asked him.

"Dartmouth, then UW." He said smiling "It's where my father went."

"oh! That's my order too. I'm scared though, we should be getting our letters soon."

"I know, it's kind of exciting at the same time though."

"Edward…Umm…Nevermind."

Gah! What am I thinking!?

I know what you're thinking! And it's a good question too! I mean he's my boyfriend now but that doesn't exactly mean he will want me if we go to the same school. He may not even want a girlfriend in college. You'll never know until you ask. Said a little voice in the back of my head.

"Bella, please tell me." He pleaded.

"Well, do you think we'll…yano…stay together? Through college?" Gah! I am such a nerd! Why did I actually ask him!?

"I really hope so Bella. Like I said, you already have a strong effect on me, a good one, and I really would like you to attend the same college as me."

YAY!!!

He wants to go to the same college! And stay together! Happy dance in my head! Happy dance in my head! Woot! Woot!

I tried to keep my happiness under control so he wouldn't see just how happy I was, but I couldn't keep the huge smile from spreading across my face.

"I would really like that Edward."

"Good." He said pulling into a long driveway.

"Come on," he said extending his hand out for me to hold. "we're here."

Oh no, here comes the nerves again. Never a good thing, ever.

Oh I hope they like me. I really really want them to like me. Especially if we want to go off to college together whenever schools out.

"Don't worry love." Edward said before he opened the front door.

"Mom! Dad! I'm home!" He called into the house.

"We're in the kitchen son!" a woman's voice called out. Saying she called him son, I'm going to assume that it was his mother.

"Come on." He said never letting go of my hand.

As we walked through the house I noticed how beautiful it was. It had to be professionally decorated. Everything matched together perfectly.

We walked through two large oak doors and standing in the kitchen were two people that had to be Edwards parents.

They were both beautiful.

Edward looked just like his father, other than his eyes that were the exact shade of green as his mothers. She was lovely with her bronze hair and skin a little darker than Edwards.

"Mom, Dad. This is Bella, my girlfriend." Edward said to them.

"Oh, hello dear." His mother said walking over to me and engulfing me in a hug.

"Hello Mrs. Mason, it's a pleasure to meet you." I said to her.

"Oh, call me Elizabeth hun. Mrs. Mason was Eds mother." She laughed.

"Will do Elizabeth." I said politely with a smile.

"Hello Mr. Masen." I said extending my hand to him.

"Call me Ed darling, as Lizzie said, that was my father."

"Your house is absolutely beautiful." I told them, looking at the kitchen.

From where I was standing I could see the backyard, it was the perfect backyard. I would love to have that when I get older with a family. On the back porch there was a white wooden swing, and there was also a small swing set that must have been from when Edward was little.

"Edward honey, why don't you show Bella the rest of the house while your father and I finish lunch."Elizabeth said to him.

"Okay ma." He said kissing her cheek then taking my hand and leading me towards the stairs.

"I can tell they loved you." He whispered to me while we were walking up the stairs.

"Really?" I smiled.

"Yes love really, just like I told you they would and knowing Alice she probably did too." He laughed.

"Haha, yeah, she might have said something like that." I giggled bashfully, my blush picking up.

"There's nothing to blush about silly." He said kissing my forehead. "I do love it though, so I guess it's okay." He said playfully.

"Good. Cuz' you're just gonna have to deal with it." I giggled again, lightly kissing his lips.

"Come on." He whispered in my ear, leading me down the hallway.

"We can do the tour later, but this is my room." He said turning around and shutting the door, then he kissed me. This kiss wasn't like our normal kisses, it wasn't like the one in the hall, but we were behind a closed door and for once no one could see us at all. It was still sweet, but it wasn't chaste and was definitely beginning to get heated. I had my back to the door, and Edward was pressed against me. He ran his tongue over my bottom lip, and I gladly let it enter.

I hope our lips aren't swollen after this… That'd be a great first impression! Swollen lips from making out with their only son in his bedroom!

I really couldn't concentrate on that right now though, I mean it is Edward that is thoroughly distracting me. The living Adonis himself.

"mmm, Edward." I mumbled against his lips as our kiss died down.

"Yes love?"

"I really hope our lips aren't swollen. I'd look like a tramp."

He chuckled "Love you could never be a tramp. Ever. Even if they are swollen, it won't matter, cuz mine will be too, and I will always want you. Forever. No matter what, Kay?" He questioned looking straight into my eyes.

"okay" I said quietly kissing him again. There was no way I would have not believed what he said, his eyes were so sincere, he seemed as though he truly would want me forever.

I didn't even realize I had started crying until Edward was wiping away some of my fallen tears.

"What's wrong love?"

"Haha, nothing's wrong Edward." I said wiping away the rest of my tears "I was just so happy, you seemed like you truly wanted me, and would want me. Gah, I am such a baby over here crying. I'm sorry." I asked with a pleading look in my eyes.

"Don't apologize love, I really do want you. I'm almost one hundred percent positive I'm already falling for you, to tell you the truth. I am happy your tears aren't sad ones."

"mmhmm" I mumbled leaning up to kiss him.

"I think I'm falling for you too." I whispered against his lips.

He kissed me again after that. Not one of the small, sweet, chaste kisses. It was another that would leave my lips swollen.

"Edward! Bella! Time for lunch!" Mrs. Masen- I mean Elizabeth called up too us.

We broke off our kiss laughing together. We wetn to the bathroom to make sure we were presentable, and hopefully not look like we were just making out in his bedroom.

I tried to make my hair less insane from Edwards hands running through it, but that didn't do too much good. Edwards hair was always messed up and unruiling so he didn't have to do much to his.

We made our way down the stairs and into the kitchen. We took our seats next to each other across from his parents.

They had baked pasta with red sauce and chicken with cheese on top. It looked super yummy.

"Elizabeth, it looks absolutely delicious." I told her.

She smiled at me. "Thank you Bella. SO… where did the two of you meet?" she asked it openly so Edward could answer but I beat him to it.

"Well Alice actually introduced us, when her and I were out with some of my friends and we ran into Edward and Emmet."

"So you know Alice?" She asked me.

"Oh yes, we've been best friends since we were born." I laughed.

"Oh, what's your last name deer?"

"Swan"

"Oh my goodness! You're Charlie and Renees daughter!" she exclaimed.

"Yes ma'am" I said blushing, realizing she knew my parents and I had no idea who they were.

"I haven't seen Charlie in years. How has he been doing?" Ed asked me.

"He's doing well, most likely off getting more fish for our never ending supply."

"Oh, that sounds like Charlie, he always was one for fishing." He laughed.

"Wait, So how do you know her parents?" Edward asked with a confused look on his face.

"Oh honey, you really don't remember when you and Bella played as toddlers?" Elizabeth asked him.

"No… We did?"

"Yes, sweetheart you did. Renee was one of my closest friends, you and Bella were always together. She always said you two would end up together, I guess she was right."

"Wow." Edward and I said at the same time.

"Did we really used to play together?" Edward asked his mother.

"Yes honey, you did. I have pictures of the two of you together. Almost a whole box of them actually. You two were so adorable, I'll have to get them out after lunch."

Oh wonderful. Usually moms only have baby pictures of their kid, but his mom has mine too…this should be fantastic, not embarrassing at all.

The rest of lunch was very pleasant and soon enough we were all sited in the living room together.

Elizabeth, Edward and I were on the couch while Ed was in an arm chair.

Elizabeth kept pulling out all kinds of different pictures; some of Edward and her of Ed, or just him, and some of the both of us. There was also some of her and my mother.

I had two favorite pictures out of all the ones she showed us of me and Edward.

The first we were both sitting in a sand box and Edward had a triumphant look on his face holding a bucket in his hands, while I had a mischievous glint in my eyes with my hands filled with sand above Edwards head. I can only imagine that he took the bucket from me, and well… retaliated.

We looked like we were best friends, we were absolutely adorable.

In the second picture we were at my house. Edward and I must have been playing with my stuffed animals because they were scattered everywhere on my bed. The cutest part about the whole picture was that we were curled up next to each other with our hands intertwined.

We looked perfect. We were only about two or three and we just looked… cute, adorable, I don't know what it was… we just were.

Well there is chapter 10!

It was a lil' different than usual, and a WHOLE lot longer, but for taking so long last time I hope it makes up for it.

Good readings to you!
